1st Place: "park regeneration story_ landscape origami"
Euibeom Lee + Keunyoung Ryu + Kunho Kim, Seoul, Korea
"Urban parks provide rest and comfort to people who live in thecity regardless of its size or location. In addition, parks are wherepeople can reconnect to the mother nature in the midst of busy citylives. Parks also serve as romantic dating spots, and sometimes createdramatic atmosphere. The urban parks bring out the most synergies whenthey are fully integrated with infrastructures, nature, climate, andevents and add more livelihood and dynamics to the city." - more info
2nd Place: "lenticular field"
Justin Diles with Joanna-Maria Helinurm + Rangel Karaivanov, Vienna, Austria
"Lenticular Field is a low-flying cloud of steel andfiber-reinforced iridescent Mylar hovering over East River State Park.On the ground, a concrete plinth houses program and bends toward awaterfront stage while the voluptuous canopy shades and zones the park,its surfaces absorbing Apollonian power by day and releasing thisenergy in a Dionysian frenzy at night." - more info
3rd Place: "williamsburg waterfront venue for improvised architecture and music"
Sahand Ahmadian Tehrani + Dena Saffarian, Vienna, Austria
"Inspired by the mechanisms of self-organization and bottom-upadaptations of cities, we propose (instead of a final answer to theprogram) a network of “infrastructure” capable of hosting amultiplicity of configurations for the original program as well asundetermined scenarios and future programs." - more info
Honorable Mention: "williamsburg waterfront performance venue"
Inés Molinari + Mercedes Peralta + Dana Sáez + Cecilia Segal + Carolina Telo, Buenos Aires, Argentina
"The project presents an architecture investigation is inspired bygeometrical models: Chinese traditional techniques such as origami andthe tan gram game, geodesic investigations developed by B. Fuller, andother mathematical models such as fractals." - more info
Honorable Mention: "all aboard!"
Alberto Fernández Zequeira + Francisco Rodríguez Suárez, San Juan, Puerto Rico
"The concept for the project came from the park’s unique industrialpast. Drawing inspiration from the original and forgotten railroadlines of the site, a new system of rails was designed for the project’snumerous stages and kiosks. This network provides for an infinitenumber of possible configurations depending on the size and type ofvenue while maintaining and enhancing the parks sense of open, naturaland inclusive space. Maximum flexibility with minimal infrastructure.Innovation through historic interpretation." - more info
